The Cardinals are getting no love from the public or the sportsbooks. This is mostly due to the extra effort that was needed a week ago to beat the Colts. The Cardinals are much better than the Colts, yet it took everything that they had to get the win. Now they play at home in front of their fans for the first time this season. This will give the Cardinals the boost that they have been looking for all season.

Cowboys Aired Out

The Cowboys have to get back to running the ball if they want to win this game. Dak Prescott has put the ball up more times than normal this season. He has 89 pass attempts which is second in the league to only Aaron Rodgers and the pass happy Green Bay Packers. If the Cowboys want to win again they will have to get back to running the ball, but it may not be easy against the Cardinals.

This is a series that has been dominated by the home team as the home team has gone 8-2 ATS in the last ten meetings.
